Black cats have long been symbols of Halloween and witchcraft in Western folklore, often depicted as magical familiars. Their striking yellow or green eyes—especially when lit dramatically by candlelight—have made them iconic fixtures of spooky seasonal imagery. Combined with the pumpkin's association as a harvest symbol and later as a jack-o'-lantern, this pairing creates one of autumn's most recognizable and beloved traditions.
